More about Thomas

  • 30 years' experience
  • Male
  • LCSW

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) ,with over 30 years of experience. I have experience working with people who have depression, anxiety, substance abuse disorder, relationship issues, and anger management. I also have expertise working with clients who have suffered from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. I am an experienced life coach, helping individuals to improve their self-esteem, self-confidence, and motivation. I assist clients in transitioning to new careers, or relationships, and identifying and achieving their life goals.

My counseling style is direct and caring. I demonstrate good listening skills, and encourage clients to actively engage in counseling sessions, and follow through with the treatment plan that we mutually design. In therapy, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy.

A positive first step is recognizing a problem and seeking help. If you are truly ready to change, and willing to put in the work, I am here to help you achieve contentment and fulfill your goals in life.

About online counseling

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
